PowerCLI Equivalent command to HPE's "Find-HPEILO"

AC_123 Dec 7, 2018 9:02 AM

Hello,
First post on here. I am about to start scripting ESXi configurations en masse for a large scale deployment.
HPE Powershell tools has cmdlets and "Find-HPEILO" is one of them where you can search a subnet and return all the ILO devices that respond to the ping requests. Does PowerCLI have somethign similar where you can search a range of IP addresses and get the DHCP of a freshly installed ESXi host, then in turn script a configuration to apply static network settings, VM's, etc.?

Not in the PowerCLI cmdlets afaik.
You could try with the regular PowerShell cmdlets to scan a subnet and try to find ESXi nodes.

Wouldn't it be easier to use AutoDeploy and the PowerCLI cmdlets for that?
With the Script bundles you can configure your ESXi node after installation.
See William's Custom script bundle is now possible with Auto Deploy in vSphere 6.5
